Medical Marriages cover

A variety of authors examine the inner workings of the physician's marriage—the psychological issues and sources of conflict that emerge in the various stages of marriage and family. The authors include notable experts who share their years of clinical experience in helping physicians and their families learn new ways to improve communication, balance the demands of work and family, and grow and change together constructively.

Most physicians and most spouses of physicians will find something in the clinical vignettes with which to identify, and most will want to ensure that their partners not only read but take to heart certain pages.

I recommend Medical Marriages as a model of applied psychoanalysis, free of jargon and persuasively written. A large number of readers will recognize themselves and their spouses in these pages and may find in them useful tools for understanding the source of marital dissatisfactions, as well as sound suggestions for growth and change.
